    With gratitude now I silently vow,
    That while I have life to inherit
    I'll ever discharge my duties at large
    And do them the justice they merit
    (5)
    I'll prove as a truth, that [ducible] youth
    Never met a more capable master
    And faithfully do, much credit unto
    My newly encouraging Pastor
    (6)
    In teaching the young our old Mother Tongue
    At least I may venture to mention
    I'm better than some who greedily thumb
    The Bible [History] Society Pension.
